Seeing how Jackson has mapped out her campaign in 2010, do you honestly believe he would ship her out to The Clement Hirsch to face Zenyatta if Delmar was a dirt track? I'm certainly not that gullable.

If California had dirt tracks, I'm 99 percent positive we would have already seen a Zenyatta-Rachel Alexandra matchup and nobody would have watched because both Rachel Alexandra and Zenyatta would have lost at some point already.

I can't be 99% sure as you are, though I will say is it more likely. But not a chance Jackson would be in So Cal to face Zenyatta in the Clement Hirsch if that race was on dirt, that I am 99.99% sure.

had cali not mandated all the awt's, and the bc been held on dirt last fall, there's no doubt in my mind rachel would have run a different campaign, and been at the bc.

perhaps people aren't happy with the zenyatta camp because they said they were going to travel with her this year, and let her fans see her.

oh, there's no doubt in your mind? So you are Jesse Jackson? Maybe Steve Assmussan? No? An assistant to ....? No. Oh, you work at the track where she was stabled and saw her and talked to the connections? No. Hummmm.

There is no doubt in my mind that unless you qualify for any of the above categories, I have no doubt in MY mind that YOU don't know what you are talking about.

Well perhaps you can get Jess Jackson, Steve Asmussen, or Scott Blasi to come and weigh in here. If not, don't get bent out of shape when someone offers their opinion on a message board.

good lord. i didn't realize i could engender such venom by saying had the bc been on dirt that rachel would have pointed in that direction. they certainly didn't hesitate to run in other top dirt races, which is why i said she'd have been there had the surface been a dirt one. so sorry i ruffled your feathers by posting my thoughts. i guess i need to find a message board more conducive to actually posting messages? or maybe you could just use the ignore feature, so as not to be bothered by my incoherent ramblings...

I don't know if it's fair to say that. Agreed that JJ will not win any popularity contests in the near future. But how do you know that any California races wouldn't be on their map if in fact they ran on dirt out there? California isn't in play for them so they scheduled, not well but accordingly. Who knows, maybe the BC would have been in play last year instead of the Woodward. It's not a surface they want to run her on, so they can't be blamed for not racing there.

Fair points. Mine is just my opinion alone, I think he has shown himself to be less than sporting than what was once believed.
